Then it's also abuse to keep cats, birds, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, and sheep as either pets or for agriculture. No more meat for you.

@pokeyphilosophy Some vegetarians consume food from animal sources, like milk and eggs. You changed my question by answering about vegans instead. Tricky, and didn't go unnoticed. Vegans get their B12 either from supplements or from foods fortified with B12 (which are many and various).
It's interesting that you think it's cruel to keep a dog in a family environment and let it live its full life, but don't find culling chickens at the age of six weeks cruel, when they've lived four weeks in the space the size of a piece of paper and their last two weeks on their knees, enfeebled by drugs. You have a strange idea of what is cruel or not, seemingly determined by your own hang-ups.

@pokeyphilosophy I agree. Natural sources of B12 are a better first choice, but not the only choice. When weighed against the cruelty to animals, I'm surprised you wouldn't make this small sacrifice to save billions of lives.
